Dr. Rugg is our lead vet who has cared for my family's pets for over three decades. He also headed the team who diagnosed and cared for my Gibson throughout his journey with Canine Epilepsy.

Gibson with Dr. Rugg

I can't say enough about the love Dr. Rugg and his entire team has shown not only Gibson, but all our FiveSibes. To me, they are part of our extended family. Gibson loved going to the office so much, that when he was able to go for walks, he would lead me right to their back door! And one of the staff even painted a portrait of Gibson on their outbuilding! What an honor!

The show is an hour long and packed with very important information for anyone who is caring for an Epi-dog (epileptic dog) or who is considering adopting one. Please feel free to share the show's link with anyone who wishes to learn more about Canine Epilepsy and seizures in dogs, and may they #LiveGibStrong.

A portion of sales from both books I donate via FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong to Canine Epilepsy Resources/Epil-K9 Foundation's "Emma's Seizure Fund" through the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

How fortunate you are to have had such an awesome vet for all your dogs! It is clear that Gibson was so special and he made a big impact on a lot of people. Thanks for all you do to help educate people about canine epilepsy!

Dr. Rugg sounds amazing - that's how we feel about our vet for our crew. We've been seeing her for over ten years and I'd be lost without our vet support system. I'm heading over to listen to the podcast while I hop!

WELCOME!

Welcome to the FiveSibes blog! At our home, we are the proud parents to five beautiful, lovable, energetic full-blooded Siberian Huskies whom we fondly refer to as "the kids!" Out of the five, four are siblings, three of them littermates! We also have an "Honorary Husky Cat" who adopted us, and most recently, she brought home another furpal, a feral kitten who has now adopted us, too! These furbabies are truly are a part of our family and we love them so! Through this blog, you will get to meet each one of them and share in a laugh or a cry at their fun-loving, crazy, wacky, and sometimes worrisome antics.

I first began the idea of creating a FiveSibes blog quite awhile ago when one of our Sibes, my wooly boy, Gibson, developed seizures shortly after his third birthday. When I began writing my journal of his medical journey, I had started posting entries on other social media as a way of connecting to others who also experienced the same with their dogs. Through this medium, I was able to connect with some pretty terrific dog-loving folks, both owners of Sibes, as well as other breeds,who I am happy to now call my friends.

My intention for this blog is to write about "a day in the life of" the FiveSibes, bringing thoughts, ideas, photos, tips, and discoveries to the forefront of discussion about the wonderful breed, as well as all things canine with others who share the same passion and love for their furbabies as we do.

We also hope to help spread the word that there are so many abandoned and homeless Sibes out there who could use a loving home. Too many times folks bring home a Husky simply for their beauty, but do not do the research to understand the breed and its needs and then turn the dog into a shelter when they can't/won't care for it anymore. Please visit the Sibe rescues listed on this site if you are considering bringing a Siberian Husky into your home. There are so many beautiful furbabies just waiting for a loving, forever home. Maybe yours could be one!

Let's make this forum a nice, comfy, polite place for everyone to visit--bring along your darling dog (or dogs), pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let's talk canine!
